The preferred way to cite commits in patch descriptions is like this:

commit c092d0be38f4 ("net: ibm: emac: remove all waiting code")

Something like this in gitconfig can be helpful.

[core]
	abbrev = 12
[pretty]
	quote = commit %h (\"%s\")
[alias]
	quote = log -1 --pretty=quote

Then the following should work:

$ git quote c092d0be38f4f754cdbdc76dc6df628ca48ac0eb
commit 71eb7f699755 ("net: ibm: emac: use netif_receive_skb_list")

Otherwise, LGTM.
